Working With Others (WWO)

WWO is a whole school ethos and has become part of our vision and our identity as a school.

At Peter Gladwin we believe that we learn more when we

take an active part

communicate well with others

take responsibility for our learning

support each other

recognise our own feelings and the feelings of others

reflect on our learning and identify our next steps

What is WWO?

WWO is the explicit teaching of group work skills and developing

relationships through

trust

communication

problem solving

How do we do WWO?

open, explicit pre and debriefing, as a group, to focus on the process of learning

supervised tasks

space and time for reflection to support and enable change

This takes the form of weekly explicit lessons and is also embedded in everything we do in and out of the classroom. For example, the children are taught “I” messaging as a method of peaceful conflict resolution to use in class and at play and lunch times.
